I am running yum update or yum update --skip-broken on RHEL6. I am getting the following error, can you provide some insight as to what I should do?

--> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: sssd conflicts with selinux-policy-3.7.19-93.el6.noarch Error: python-devel conflicts with python-2.6.6-20.el6.x86_64 Error: initscripts conflicts with lvm2-2.02.83-3.el6.x86_64 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root cause is something else and multilib version checking is just pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

1. You have an upgrade for python-rhsm which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of python-rhsm of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
--exclude python-rhsm.otherarch ... this should give you an error
message showing the root cause of the problem.

2. You have multiple architectures of python-rhsm installed, but
yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
can remove the one with the missing update and everything
will work.

3. You have duplicate versions of python-rhsm installed already.
You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.

...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
much more problems).

This sounds like you have incompatible repos installed
can you post the output of this

Code:

su -
yum repolist all

that outputs the software repos that are installed and if they are ON or OFF

OR
You installed something NOT using yum but using "rpm" to install a rpm package

RHEL6.4 just came out so
there will not be too many updates right now after the first one , if this is a new install .

also you can try rebuilding the yum and rpm database
This is the first thing to try in fixing a yum issue
